Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi Nikki, No it isn't related, but I always thought it was. I have had many cysts on my ovaries, but its not the same as PCOS. so my gyn says. ?? The kidneys can have thousands of cysts that crowd out normal kidney tissue until none is left and you have to either go on dialysis or to organ transplantation. No cure either, but I have researched that you can help yourself by cutting your protein, hence why I joined. Plus we like to eat vegetarian and are also concerned about animal welfare. So its a good thing. I have read a lot about PCOS, tho. Its not a cake walk, huh? Thanks for asking... Hi to all! becky www.pkdcure.org * *trying to find a cure polycystic kidney and liver disease* HAPPY SPRING!!!

Misty2) How old are you (roughly)? 32 3) Where do you live (city/country)? country4) How long have you been a vegetarian/vegan, or how long have you been ionterested in cooking vegetarian food? I have polycystic kidney disease, so I can't have a lot of protein. I have been gradually moving toward vegetarianism for quite a while now.5) What is your favourite food or meal? definitely potatoes! :-)6) Why did you join the group? I need to find a variety of vegetarian dishes to keep my family from getting bored by eating the same things over and over again. They still eat meat occasionally, but not very often.7) Is there anything specific you want to get out of the group? I am looking forward to everyone sharing their knowledge concerning this way of eating as I learn to adapt my diet to a totally vegetarian way of eating.Misty ©2003 LongBraid Designs Original ©2003 LongBraid Designs Original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
